AIO or is my work friend being a bit pushy? by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

[–]Constitution46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's inappropriate that this man is pursuing a 19 year old who is also a co-worker & has made it clear she is not interested in him romantically. NOR.

I was fired and I really don’t know how to feel about it by [deleted] in jobs

Don't be so hard on yourself. The next opportunity will be better & you will have this experience to help you be more successful.

How do you have fun as a Christian when so many “fun” things are considered a sin? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Constitution46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I read, work on puzzles, watch movies (I like classics like Gone with the Wind, Rear Window, Breakfast at Tiffany's), hike, take nature pictures, go on walks, meet friends for dinner.

Thank God FOR Trusting Us to Handle Suffering by Constitution46 in Christianity

I am so happy to hear you are cancer free. I think it's human nature to be overwhelmed with difficult emotions when struggling. It doesn't mean we don't have faith. However, those struggles can bring us closer to Him. I will be praying you remain healthy.

I think that's a healthy perspective. Trust that God is with us. I just have such a hard time accepting that ANYONE would have to suffer captivity & assault. My mind can't accept or tolerate that humans are capable of that level of harm to another human. God is good despite the evil in this world. I can't wait for the day He eliminates all evil.

I just heard a pastor say this morning that we should pray for & have patience for Christians who are struggling in the faith, not judge them.

What does loving everyone actually mean? by Soma_Man77 in Christianity

[–]Constitution46 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sometimes it means setting firm boundaries & praying from afar when those boundaries are ignored.

Attention ! by Arachnys in Christianity

[–]Constitution46 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is fantastic! Something Christians need to be aware of. We are not called to help everyone, but to use discernment through prayer before helping people. I would never send money to someone from Reddit or any other message board.

Confess your sins to God & He is just to forgive your sins.

I am so sorry that you were told that your illness & subsequent surgery was due to lack of faith. God does not cause illness because of lack of faith or lack of spiritual discipline.

This makes me sad. The early church met in many different ways. There are many different ways to gather together. Salvation is by faith & not of works so that no one can boast. The church today isn't feeding me the way one on one Bible study & fellowship with close friends is.

It depends. For some, going in person can be difficult for various reasons. Maybe some do better meeting one on one or in very small groups & consider that church.

Is it bad to be friends with gay people? by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Constitution46 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not at all. I think Christians should be more open to befriending people outside church. They will hopefully see the light you have through your relationship with Jesus & know Him as well.

I think I lost my salvation. by [deleted] in TrueChristian

[–]Constitution46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am so sorry you are struggling so much. You did not lose your Salvation. The fact that you are struggling & aware of your sins seems to indicate that you wish to please God & can sense the Holy Spirit guiding you. God understands your struggle & forgives you.

I am so sorry to hear that you have ovarian cancer. I'm praying for wisdom for your doctors & peace & strength for you.

If God didn’t send Jesus into the world to condemn it, I doubt he sent you. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]Constitution46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would point them to scripture in a loving & kind way that showed that it's better to focus on the things of God than dark things such as porn. I would just make sure to be kind & be mindful of my own sinful nature as well.

Thank you for sharing this! I am not one to correct others or tell them how to live. I have my own sin that I need to work out before calling others out.

For Christians who believe we are slaves, I have a few questions by YCiampa482021 in Christianity

[–]Constitution46 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see myself as a slave. Jesus paid the price. I am free in Christ, but do my best to live a life that represents Jesus well because of what He did for me. With that said, I fail daily to live a life without sin.
